Composed in memory of a favorite teacher, Father J. Zimmermann, Gounod’s first large scale mass was an immediate success in the wake of its Paris world premiere on November 22, 1855 at the Eglise de Saint Eustache. The composer went on to popularize the work in London, which resulted in the present vocal score arranged by Sir Joseph Barnby. The Barnby score is presented here in a reprint of the score issued by G. Schirmer in the 1890s, with added measure numbers, a rehearsal system to match the widely available orchestra parts from E. F. Kalmus, and a very readable A4 size.
